David Minor Memorial Fund
David Matthew Minor
February 23, 1981 – June 2, 2008
David Minor was a passionate activist for social and environmental justice and a strong proponent of sustainability. He died on June 2, 2008 at the age of 27 in a bicycle-car collision at the corner of Willamette & 13th.
David grew up in Eugene and graduated from the University of Oregon with degrees in environmental studies and sociology. He worked as the manager at Jo Federigo’s restaurant, a place where he could facilitate people gathering to enjoy local food and good music. He played drums in a high school band and loved all kinds of music. He also enjoyed skiing, surfing, camping, gardening, and being around his family and many friends.
David encouraged others to think about how their actions impacted the natural environment and those who are poor and oppressed, and he lived his life to reflect those values.
Willamette Farm and Food Coalition is honored to help sustain David’s memory–and his passions for growing food, supporting local farms, and promoting social justice. The David Minor Memorial Fund is being used to help strengthen projects and programs that increase access to healthy, locally grown foods for low-income families in Lane County.
To date, $25,550 has been raised in David’s memory and has supported our farmers market coupons and our Double Up Food Bucks and Fresh Food Rescue programs. In addition, these funds have supported numerous community projects: the Courthouse Garden Project, FOOD for Lane County’s Gardens Program, Huerto de la Familia, Victory Gardens for All, Healthy Corner Stores Initiative, That’s My Farmer Low Income Fund, and the 2011 UO Food Justice Conference.
Help us grow David’s organic legacy with a contribution to the David Minor Memorial Fund.
